Ensuring Employee Safety: Collins Tower 5 Glass Protection with Avery Dennison Safety Window Film.
🏙 Discover how our team at Eclipse Tint safeguarded the employees at Collins Tower 5, Docklands, with a groundbreaking installation of over 320 square meters of Avery Dennison Safety Window Film on West Facing windows. 🌆
🔒 Why did we undertake this vital installation? Glass breakage in buildings can occur without warning, posing a significant safety risk to occupants. This can be due to glass edge damage, surface damage from handling and glazing, or other factors that weaken the glass over time. One potential cause is the presence of nickel sulphide stones within the glass. While rare, these stones can grow and lead to spontaneous glass shattering, especially in tempered glass.
👷♂ Ensuring employee safety is our top priority! Our window film adds an extra layer of protection, reducing the risk of injury due to unexpected glass breakage. Here are some key takeaways:
1. Tempered Glass Strength: Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard annealed glass, but nickel sulphide stones can still pose a threat.
2. Nickel Sulfide Stones: These tiny stones, often from nickel contamination during glass production, can lead to spontaneous glass breakage.
3. Heat-Strengthened Glass: For added safety, we recommend heat-strengthened glass whenever heat-treated glass is needed, except where building codes require safety glazing.
4. Prevention Measures: Most glass manufacturers employ controls to reduce the likelihood of nickel sulphide formation.
5. Heat-Soaking: While heat-soaking may help identify flawed glass panels, it doesn't guarantee 100% eliminating nickel sulphide inclusions.
